I hunted high and low for a navy blazer - it's actually quite impressive how hard it is to find such a thing in Canada! All the stores kept telling it will probably come in the spring collections. Is a blazer only a spring item? One morning a few weeks ago I had some time on my hands so I ran a few errands and decided if there was a place to park, I would look in the thrift shop. I know Adrienne shops at her local thrift shop all the time and finds some of the most incredible deals but it's not the sort of thing I tend to do. I guess I feel I don't have time to pick through a mishmash of items. Anyhoo, there was a parking spot right out front, the store was open (a bit of a crapshoot in this town) and was fairly free of crowds. I looked around, didn't see what I wanted and decided to ask...sure enough, that morning...they put out a brand new Talbots navy blazer...in my size...petite even! It fits perfectly right off the hanger and the $5.00 price tag was well within my clothing budget. Sold!

Have a fabulous day!

Oh you lucky thing! Talbot's petite clothes were my very favourite when I was working. Before the trend seemed to go uber-casual. I think a navy blazer always looks great with jeans and smart casual is definitely a great style to have. Well done you! It was clearly meant to happen.

This makes me so happy - and a little bit proud :) I am always pleased as punch when I can convince someone who does not thrift to give it a try. A Talbots blazer for $5! That is a super find. I have missed my thrift shopping excursions - it's been about a month since I have been. Your post has enticed me to get back to it!
